Celcom has finally revealed the contract price of the Nokia C3 in Malaysia. If you missed the RM99 crazy offer yesterday, this is an alternative.

The Nokia C3 is offered at RM278 on Celcom Exec 50 + Mobile Internet RM38 and RM238 on Celcom Exec 50 + Mobile Internet RM68. It comes FREE if you subscribe to Celcom Exec 250 that comes with free data. The contract duration is 12 months and they require an upfront payment of RM300.

Somehow we felt that the subsidy by Celcom isn’t as generous as compared to Maxis’s X3 Touch and Type deal. For a phone that’s worth RM520 we find it a bit too much for Celcom to ask for RM300 upfront even when customers have to pay RM278 for the device.

UPDATE: Celcom confirms RM99 Nokia C3 offer at Pavilion is happening this Friday. Update via FB page.

Celcom has started its pre register or commonly known registration of interest for the Nokia C3. Surprisingly an entry device like this requires ROI as its normally conducted for higher end models. The C3 is an entry level S40 device that comes with a full QWERTY keyboard. It is proven to be a big hit especially in Indonesia with a huge crowd lining up for it during launch day.

Earlier on, we had a heads up that Celcom is having a promo offer for the Nokia C3. This is reported to be happening at Pavilion this coming Friday where the device is offered from as low as RM99. You can check out the full details of the event here.

UPDATE: Celcom confirms RM99 Nokia C3 offer at Pavilion is happening this Friday. Update via FB page.

According to Lowyat, they have gotten word that Celcom is offering the Nokia C3 from as low as RM99. 100 units will be on offer with the first 50 going at RM99 and the subsequent 50 at RM199. This is happening at Pavilion La Bodega next Friday 15th October at 2.30PM. More details over at Lowyat.

This is believed to be exclusive to Celcom subscribers, which means it could be tied to a contract subscription. The C3 mentioned here is the entry level QWERTY social networking enabled device that was launched with a bang in Indonesia. Not to be confused with the recent C3 Touch and Type that was announced at Nokia World recently.

If you are looking for a Touch and Type phone, Maxis is offering the Nokia X3 Touch and Type for FREE with a 500MB data plan over 24 months.

The iPhone 4 may be the talk of the town right now but the truth of the matter is, many in the world’s most populous continent — Asia — will not be able to afford it.

Nokia knows this and has recently launched it’s entry level smartphone — the C3 — in Indonesia.

As a smartphone, the Nokia C3 can barely be called that. Specs wise, it’s not going to make many in the developed countries go gaga but for emerging markets this could be the ticket to jumping onto the smartphone bandwagon. The C3, Nokia says, is the phone that will make connectiong to your friends via social networks affordable and easy.

The C3 is Nokia’s first Series 40 mobile phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. It’s also the first S40 phone with access to social networks directly on the homescreen. The quad-band device has a 2MP camera, 2.4-inch (320 x 240) QVGA screen, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi (b/g). On board internal memory is a miniscule 55MB but is expandable up to 8GB via microSD. Sadly though, it runs on EDGE, not 3G. Also, no GPS.

At launch, the Nokia C3 can be had for around RM360, very close to what Nokia said it will retail for when the phone maker first announced the C3’s existence; which was roughly RM400.

Check out the Nokia C3 Indonesian launch day plus one official promo video after the jump.
